Gonna tackle this from a few different angles.
I don't tend to like things in the mainstream because of their problematic aspects, so I don't really think it would bother me if something in, for instance, a comic I was reading was changed because the artist reacted to criticism any more than it bothers me to change things in reaction to criticism that I agree with, or if a game was changed pre-release due to criticism. If it changed in a way that made it less enjoyable for me I'd stop reading it or not play it and move on to something else. There's too much quality media for any single human to consume as-is, so it's not like I'd suddenly run out of stuff to do in my spare time. Note that the only stuff that gets prominent, enduring criticism in this thread consistently is stuff that's mass marketed and then does things to alienate women--Blockbusters, mass market games, instances where entire genres are more or less walled off unless you're okay with extreme sexualization. Most people don't want to get rid of media that panders to horny people entirely, they just want to not be slapped in the face by horny every time they boot up a JRPG or fighting game.
As far as stuff that DOES make it a part of its DNA to pander to horny people, I can't realistically see it going anywhere, so it's difficult to answer that question. Even if we came together as a collective one world government and immediately banned all titillation entirely it'd just move underground, it's too important to the human condition. I don't want to see it go anywhere, and I don't think it ever will.
I just want people (who aren't me, I'm fine because I'm the target of most of the pandering media does, being attracted to women) to be able to play the games I like where pandering to horny people isn't a part of its DNA but the stuff is there anyway, without having to put up with discomfort to do so. Or for there to at least be options that they can take, games within genres they can play, or configurations they can make to not have to deal with it. That's the bare minimum, and we aren't even fully there yet.
If someone were to approach me and tell me that something I was drawing or painting or writing or whatever was making them uncomfortable and it wasn't part of the core DNA of what I was doing, I'd talk to them and if they could even remotely provide any basis for it I'd generally err on the side of concession and just change it most of the time. Sometimes things are non-negotiable, but I really think that people hold way too much reverence for the creative process in some contexts, in the sense that they feel like every single decision made in the creation of a creative work is completely non-negotiable as part of an artistic vision. Reality is that maybe I'm super attached to certain elements of a work and others I couldn't care less about changing.
You can like literally anything you want to like and should never feel bad about it unless it's illegal or tangibly harming and killing people.
The issue people generally want to bring attention to is that it can be extremely, extremely difficult to find games without content that bothers you, especially in certain genres, as a woman or person not attracted to women who's even remotely conscious of or sensitive to things like camera work and character design intended for titillation of people attracted to women.
Which is to say, there's generally complete agreement with "different strokes for different folks," but while women make up somewhere in the vicinity of half of the gaming audience, there's an extreme difference in the total number of strokes that are either directly aimed at them, or at least aimed at general audiences. They're getting more strokes now, but there's still a stroke disparity worth talking about.
The thing is, the only way that people who don't have the technical and creative skill and financial capital to make their own games can do is talk about what we already have and what bothers us in it for the future reference. It's the only realistic route we have to change things.
Claims that you one doesn't like specific things in media have a lot less punch when one can't point to something that actually exists and say "Right, stuff like that. That's what's making me uncomfortable," but that doesn't necessarily mean that we think that game we're pointing at needs to go away or even change, it's just what we have in front of us to criticize, the same way that we can point at things we like and say "Yes, we want more things like this," and also do that.
